Therefore, it is urged that the respondents be directed to address the representations, as such direction would suffice in the circumstances of the case. r 2. In the judgment of Hon’ble Apex Court in The Government of Indfa vs P. Venkatesh reported in (2019) 15 SCC 613 held that: Dispose of the representation’ mantra is increasingly permeating the judicial process in the High Courts and the Tribunals. Such orders may make for a quick or easy disposal of cases in overburdened adjudicatory institutions. But, they do not service to the cause of justice. The litigant is back again before the Court, as this case shows, having incurred attendant costs and suffered delays of the legal process. This would have been obviated by calling for a counter in the first instance, thereby resulting in finality to. the dispute. 3. This Court is not oblivious of the fact that a Court to authorities, befire directing "consideration" of a claim or representation should examine whether the claim or representation is with reference to a "live" issiie or whether it is with reference to a "dead" or "stale" issue. If it is with reference to a "dead" or "stale" issue or dispute, the Court/tribunal should put an end to the matter and should not direct consideration or reconsideration. If the Court to Tribunal deciding to direct "consideration" without itself examining the merits, it should make it clear that such consideration will be without prejudice to any contention relating to limitation or delay and laches. Even if the Court does nof expressly say so, that would be the legal position and effect." 4. Disposal of proceedings by seemingly innocuous orders directing consideration of application though result in quick or easy disposal of cases in overburdened adjudicatory institutions, but more disservice than service to the such orders do cause of justice. 5. However, the respondents are directed to application dated 02.06.2025 for examine the consider the petitioners mutation of names in adangal same thoroughly, issue orders accordingly communicate the decision to the petitioners. It and goes without saying that the entire process will be completed within six weeks from the date the order is received. Till then, the respondents coercive steps. are directed not to take any 6. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be order as to costs. As a sequel thereto. Interlocutory Applications shall stand closed. no pending, if any. Sd/- M.
